  • We prove that a free boundary semilinear heat equation with Stefan boundary condition and radially symmetric data is locally null controllable. The strategy involves reducing the problem to the corresponding one-dimensional formulation and adapting a Carleman inequality in that setting. The local null controllability of the free-boundary problem is then established via the Schauder fixed-point theorem. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first controllability result for this problem with Stefan boundary condition in more than one spatial dimension.
